6. All the population projections have been wrong lately. This one will be as well

Nations are seeing birthrates fall far faster than expected even 5 years ago. Japan, South Korea, most of Europe, even China. The US would also be falling if it weren't for immigration, both legal and illegal. American citizens aren't having enough children to maintain our population any longer.

I would be SHOCKED if the US population is able to maintain it's current level 30 years from now. The only thing that would give us a population boost would be if we started allowing in millions of climate refugees from Central America, and the GOP is working overtime to prevent that from happening.
